lmao austen knew exactly how to portray a self-absorbed mansplain-y dude that loves the sound of his own voice (john thorpe) so much so that it holds up even today. it gave me flashbacks. i applaud.

i'm enjoying this more than i thought i would! could not care less about catherine and henry (as of now) and somehow i'm ten times more invested with whatever the hell is going on with isabella and james
